Machine Learning-based Analysis of NYC Cab Trip Duration “Data-Driven Rides” is an entry for the first MaCT Machine Learning Competition that hosted on Kaggle which involves predicting the duration of taxi rides in New York City. The dataset provided for this competition is based on the 2016 NYC Yellow Cab trip record dataset and the … Read more
The objective of this exercise is to build a machine learning model that will predict taxicab trip durations based on 2016 NYC Yellow Cab trip record data. Data Fields Based on this, this project will develop a machine learning regression algorithm capable of predicting the duration of a trip based on the variables provided by … Read more
The MaCT01 students were tasked with training a model that would be used to predict NYC yellow taxi ride durations using machine learning. The dataset included pickup and drop-off datetimes, location coordinates and passenger count. Visualizing the data helped to understand the correlation between the columns and remove the highly correlated values Understanding the distribution … Read more
The data used to prediction is the New York City taxi data from January, 2016 to June, 2016 and New York City weather data from the same time duration. The taxi data has features about pickup time detailed to seconds. Considering the traffic condition could be affected by weekday and hour, so I deconstructed the … Read more
The source dataset provided for this project is derived from the 2016 NYC Yellow Cab trip records, which were made publicly available on the Big Query platform of the Google Cloud. The data was originally collected and published by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC). This dataset serves as the foundation for … Read more
INTRODUCTION The competition is based on the 2016 NYC Yellow Cab trip record dataset. The challenge is to build a model that predicts trip duration for New York City taxis using machine learning. The dataset includes pickup time, geo-coordinates, number of passengers, and several other variables. Based on individual trip attributes, a code was written … Read more
#Objective #A Kaggle Competition to MaCT01 students to show their knowledge, designing an end-to-end machine learning project to predict the “Trip Duration” of NYC Taxi trips. #Workflow #First of all a workflow hast do be developed, which represents a classic approach for training machine learning models, analysing the provided training data provided by the submission, … Read more
The aim of the project is to predict trip duration, using 2016 NYC YELLOW CAB TRIP DATA. Structuring the dataset The analysis begins with outlier identification. The passenger_count variable has two outliers: 0 and 9, which compared to the amount of people allowed by the NY Limousine law, is impossible. Also, there were some pickup … Read more
INTRODUCTION Urban planning decisions have a significant impact on the development of cities, and using machine learning can provide decision-makers with valuable insights to make informed decisions. By clustering urban areas based on various factors such as population density, built density, POI density, green cover, and build diversity, we can reveal spatial patterns that can … Read more
The Core challenges of urban childhood As cities grow and develop, there is often a lack of safe and child-friendly spaces for children to play, walk or bike alone. The increase in traffic and air pollution makes it challenging and unsafe for children to travel on foot or by bicycle. Crime and social fear also … Read more
RE-frame and Connect Public spaces in a city, such as pathways and non-constructible parcels, are not utilized to their full potential. As a result, they create voids and detachment of citizens from their city and do not provide any meaningful benefits to the community.
